If you think you may be developing dementia visit your doctor. It is very important to seek help early so you can get the support you need. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, examine you and may also ask about your medical history. Your doctor may do blood and urine tests to rule out the possibility of other conditions that could cause symptoms similar to dementia. You may also have a memory test-one that is often used to help find out if you have dementia is the Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE). In this test, your doctor will ask you some questions and test your attention and ability to remember words.
